Written for the Glenn Hughes contest, sponsored by Robert James Liguori, this is inspired by the song sung by Glenn Hughes, "your love is like a fire" .. still not sure how to attach songs on my phone. But please listen to it. 

Thank you all for being so supportive, i havent been online but will be reading your poems too today slowly. 

Would you cover me in hydrangeas of healing, when cold is the heavy air I breathe, alone without you, beside me? O’ magnolia-chime, melodiously ricocheting~ above silent fields of Swarovski orchids, this lunar-glazed love remains my euphonious elixir, and your lips, the petals I graze in euphoric motion, when orange sherbet streaks of the evening sun~ descend upon glistening ripples of diamond dust, your chamomile flames of aquamarine love, keep rising in hypnotic hues of hibiscus red, for your love is like a fire~ your song, like the scorching rivers, ferrying lyrical lanterns adorned with clear quartz crystals. Within your amethyst arms, I’ve found a melody, turning my needs into alluring aurora fireworks, as your love is like a fire, screaming my name in tantalizing tunes, while I yearn for you to come devour me whole, never letting the breeze steal our saffron symphonies, here I’m slipping away, letting music of my heart to take control. So allow me to gently trace your thorny edges~ I’m addicted to your enthralling enchantments, chaining my sighs to your eyes, that shine like oceanic sapphires, there, you sketch my skies with poetic phrases, igniting vibrating sparks across the horizon, for your love is like a fire, it delights me with daffodil desires, taking me higher. But what must I do, when the colors of sunrise fade, leaving me weaving ballads of bruised blues. I ponder, would you feel the heat of this cosmic longing, how in darkness, I need your silken serenades? Remember, ten thousand moons from now, I’ll still need you to thrill my will~ to fill this canvas with peacock pigments, for your love is like a fire.. I’m lost in a sea of wilted willows, but you’ll be the star that never dies, forever sprinkling citrine threads of magic, like an alchemist, orchestrating soothing sonatas, pulling me back to the lavender light, aware of how I’ve tried in stillness, to harmonize the rhythm of this roseate rhapsody.. So allow me to gently trace your thorny edges~ I’m addicted to your enthralling enchantments, chaining my sighs to your eyes, that shine like oceanic sapphires.

Ink! This is absolutely wonderful. The second stanza is some of the best poetry I've ever read. Well done.

I love the mix. Reality is when we question even the things that feel real and true. "Remember, ten thousand moons from now, I’ll still need you to thrill my will~to fill this canvas with peacock pigments, for your love is like a fire." If this isn't true love. Ten thousand moons is a lot of years and you would still the same song in the same pace and tempo to your lover. You're addicted to many parts of your lover. I love it. It's not complete if they don't see no one else but you. Cheers Ink.

IE, you start with such charmed love, but then express doubt. What will happen over time? Hard to say really....as an infinite number of twists and turns are there as possible. You create a vision of a beautiful and vulnerable lover and capture that with total grace. U R phenomenal!

This is a beautiful poem, even though I don't know who Glenn Hughes is. The poem has a lot of warmth, as well as tension. It's a very good read.

This poem has created not simply fire but a conflagration of emotions of delight and exhilaration in me. "your lips, the petals I graze in euphoric motion, when orange sherbet streaks of the evening sun~ descend upon glistening ripples of diamond dust, your chamomile flames of aquamarine love, keep rising in hypnotic hues of hibiscus red".....How much of beauty is embedded in these lines. Each time you leave us gape mouthed with your stunning use of images. This goes into my FAVE. Dear Empress this poem of love and longing stands apart from many ordinary love poems.

Dear Inky, not just love - your exquisite poem is on fire! Full of vivid imagery captured by strokes of the artist’s palette of creative imagination, ‘ when orange sherbet streaks of the evening sun’ ‘ your song like the scorching rivers’ ‘ lavender light’. Beautifully sensual, hypnotic to ‘ enthralling enchantments’. You have masterfully captured so much for the reader to be enraptured with as they admire your enchanting poem. Loved reading it. Hope you are well. Hugs and blessings xx

Dearest Empress, your poetic tribute to Glenn Hughes's song ignites my soul with its passionate imagery and lyrical beauty. I just loved how each line is a symphony of emotions of love and longing that fills my mind long after I read it. Your words dance like flames, flickering with the intensity of desire and the warmth of affection. Empress, this is an exquisite expression of love's enduring flame a love that everyone wants and you have expressed. A Fav! - Blessings, Daniel

Passionate romance is full of metaphoric allusions. Was astounded by the aquamarine love, crowned by hypnotic hues of hibiscus red. OH, I love hibiscus though I can't grow them in the narrow corridor where I keep my plants. An array of imagery leads me to your ending which is simply majestic.

Great poetry, penned from a place of profound passion, dear Ink. By providing nuanced, precise details, you elevate the tone of your work. Your love captivates us with its sultry symphony, like a fire that reaches out to us.A lover's presence brings warmth and comfort, in stark contrast to the cold air and isolation seen in the images.Your poem deftly weaves vivid images and poetic language into an enthralling investigation of love and yearning. Your profound emotional bond with your sweetheart is beautifully depicted.

Ahhh! The first verse got me! The depth and rawness of your words were so striking and expressed in true iridescence! Such a powerful opening! “The petals I graze in euphoric motion” —ahh! Wow! I can’t even quote every line I love here, for it would be the majority of your divine artistry here! “Lunar-glazed love” — how do you find such lyrical balladry to weave such exquisite words of beauty to convey breathtaking sentiments of love? “Within your amethyst arms, I’ve found a melody, turning my needs into alluring aurora fireworks” — first, I love the word aurora! And this line meets such longing and need of an

Enchanting aura of devotement and safekeeping! Ahhh..”but what must I do, when the colors of sunrise fade, leaving me weaving ballads of bruised blues” — ahh, I can feel this line in the depths of its kaldescopic hues framing this feeling of longing..”I’m lost in a sea of wilted willows, but you’ll be the star that never dies” — I’m drowning in the immensity of this line that immerses the heart and soul so beautifully and hauntingly! I am always so in awe of your poetic soul! You ink what so many feel, resonating so deeply with your art, in many intricate layers, my beautiful soul sis! Your heart soul and mind is art itself!

such a captivating poem, dear Ink--one filled with your signature alliterative lines and imagery. I felt the yearning in your captivating words.

Also liked lavender light...wishing you a pleasant evening and best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

Hey Ink, where you been hiding? Your poem is a captivating exploration of love and longing, beautifully woven with vibrant imagery and lyrical language. It paints a vivid picture of your deep emotional connection with your beloved,(he/she must be quite the catch) using floral and elemental metaphors to convey the intensity of their feelings. The opening lines, with the plea to be covered in hydrangeas of healing, set a tone of vulnerability and yearning. The imagery of cold air and loneliness contrasts sharply with the warmth and comfort sought in the presence of the beloved.

I like how it celebrates the enduring power of love to inspire, comfort, and uplift. It speaks to the universal human experience of longing for connection and belonging, while also acknowledging the challenges and uncertainties that accompany deep emotional attachment. I can see this being a top winner...
